Not the parent, but I switched from vim+plugins to vscode+plugins for most development. I absolutely use the vim plugin because I can't stand to edit text without vim keybindings anymore. The reason I switched is that plugins in vim are more of a pain to configure and they are usually less maintained and polished than their vscode equivalents.
For example, let's say I'm not set up to program rust at all. In vscode, I just search "rust" in extensions, grab the most popular one, and it sets itself up magically. In vim, my experience was that I would lose a few hours to configuration, and the plugin would still be a little janky.
I still use vim as a plain text editor, and every once in a while I need to open a file in vim to do some serious macro editing (macros aren't perfectly supported by the plugin), but for the most part vscode+vimplugin is just nicer to use for day to day development. I should specify that my daily work languages are typescript & c#/unity on linux, but I've also been writing a fair amount of rust lately.
